Undergraduate

Almost 3,000 undergraduates pursue three- or four-year bachelor’s degree programs at Lipscomb. Our admissions process focuses on finding people who want to tackle their education at full speed and from all sides—people who are multidimensional and motivated. Test scores count, yes; but what counts more is who you are, where you’ve been and where you want to go.

Graduate

At the graduate level, Lipscomb has 25 master’s programs, attended by about 1,700 students with some of the boldest ideas and biggest hearts out there. While the disciplines they study couldn’t be more diverse (from biomolecular science to family therapy), our graduate students share a drive to explore and, ultimately, impact our world for the better.

Adult Degree

We have a well-established pragmatic side here at Lipscomb. That’s why we offer practice-oriented adult education for those who have full-time obligations. Our program enables you to keep working as you advance your career through evening and weekend classes, as well as online, virtual and mobile technologies.

Veterans

You selflessly chose to serve your country; in recognition, we are committed to helping you prepare for the next chapter of your life. Though Lipscomb’s participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program, eligible military veterans and/or their families can receive free tuition towards an undergraduate degree, or pursue select master’s programs either tuition-free or at reduced cost.

Programs

All undergraduates pursue a liberal arts curriculum to cover the essentials, and then choose from nearly 78 majors. And thanks to Lipscomb’s internship, service learning and global studies programs, you’ll graduate with so much more than book learning—you’ll gain real-world skills, experience and understanding.

Fast Facts

Lipscomb was founded in 1891 as a place where challenging academics and spiritual formation go hand in hand. That’s just as true today. We’re also a place where you can play Division I athletics, travel to almost all the continents (only Antarctica hasn’t made the list...) and prepare for your profession.
